Good Morning!
It's the 25th of the month and time for the June blog hop challenge featuring Papertrey Ink (PTI) over at Nichole's {capture the moment} blog. Using the photo and sketch inspiration provided, here is what I made:
The specific ingredients are below. The banner had a light wash of color and I used my PTI inks to sponge in more color to follow the color recipe. I hope you can see the triangles both in the embossing and in the patterned vellum.
With or without a flash, it's very difficult for me to photograph vellum overlays when they are colored, so I found it was best to lay the card flat for the photo. (Of course it would have been better without a shadow of my big fat head.) This card makes me happy and I wanted to share it with you without making your eyeballs water. What kind of happy would that be?!
Here is the PTI photo, color, and sketch challenge inspiration that I followed:
Since I used a vellum overlay on my card, I am also entering it into the current Make It Monday: Vellum Overlay Challenge tutored by the talented Danielle.
Short and sweet as I'm typing this Tuesday night to schedule for tomorrow. Thank you for all your good wishes regarding my eye appointment. It turned out I didn't need my eyes dilated until my next visit, but it was still a busy beehive kinda day. I'm skootching off to bed so my bunny feet will be fresh and springy for the hop!
(I'll be back with my New Friends Corner in my next post.)

I love, love, love this card today, the colours are so cheerful and I am now singing that wonderful song 'Happy' (only in my head so as not to scare the birds away!). So glad you did not need the dilating, you can now enjoy your hopping!
Heard a good one today that I thought you might like - SABLE - Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy...... Big hugs, Annie xx

So beautiful, Darnell!
Another one of your fabulous works Darnell, love it!!
No watering of the eyeballs for me Darnell, with your perfectly made and named happy card. Love the banners in those yummy colours. Glad you didn't need the eye drops, Oliver required those when he was a child and hated them. Love Anne's SABLE acronym think that might apply to many of us lol
Hugs Lottie x
Oooh, my kind of happy, Darnell ... the colours in these texture-y banners are stunning ... they're so perfectly topped off with the happy die cut! Hugs, Anita :)
This is lovely with all the happy colors on the fish tail banners :) cool design !

Wow! You did a great job with this challenge! Love the triangles!! Very Cool!!!
As always! stunning!! I just love the pop of color against the white. I really must CASE this one! : )

Hop hop. SUCH yummy colors. Why is vellum such a stinker to photograph anyway?!
The triangles are very visible...and they look awesome! Great idea to take the photo at this angle.
I love how your banners (in various sizes & colors) were inspired by the pictures on the wall! And perhaps the headboard and the footboard were your inspiration for the cool "happy" die cut?
Great to hear that 'they' didn't have to mess with your eyes...for now :)
Great banner card! Carri~Abusybee

What a fabulous card Darnell! I loved all three sketches and the inspiration photo from this challenge. Love your banner and the colors are perfect. I've seen a few people do the sentiment with the long lines. Is that the way the die is or did you do something special to cut it that way? Well it is very cool looking. lol Hugs, Brenda
Perfectly done Darnell - love the way everything falls from the "happy" die!
Your sentiment says it all. This card makes me happy :)
Oh wow!! Awesome take on the sketch!! I love the colors and your embossing!! Awesome card!!
This card makes me happy! Mission accomplished, my friend. I can see all your triangles too. Lovely design and wonderful colors! Love this. Hope your eyes are fine and that you're back tomorrow with another beauty!! Bev

You've created a lot of detail in this card without making it at all busy - what an accomplishment! It's a beautiful card and it made me Happy. TFS
What a great card! Can believe that this one makes you haappy; it is a beautiful sunny card! Super how you used the embossing and stamping pattern! Hugs, Gerrina
Hi Darnell. This is a lovely card with such pretty embossing and those brightly coloured banners and sentiment. So pleased I managed to enter your challenge allbeit at the very last moment - just didn't want to miss it! x
Love this card Darnell, bright and happy and full of lovely texture, Cathy x
Terrific card ... Love those banners!
Way to combine challenges into such an eye-catching card! Love those vibrant banners! Vellum...I just don't get vellum. I have but one sheet (still....) and it just winds up in the recycle bin. I think it's too 'thick' to be properly and effectively 'seen through.' Apparently some vellum research required! Hugs~c
Love your beautiful and colourful bunting Darnell - such a pretty card! I hope your having a wonderful weekend - hugs xx
Wow, Darnell--love this!
Just so fun ~ LOVE how you used the colors!!!
Oh this is just gorgeous! Love the banner !
Love the spool beds in the inspiration photo. Your card is fabulous and you captured the colors from the photo very well.
Love this bright and happy banner card.
